The belt switch is generally on the side of the motor. The belt loops around the drum and then makes a "S" curve over an idler pulley before it loops around the motor pulley and back to the drum.

You have to take the top/front/side shell off the unit to get to any of the internals. Not a big job if you have room to move it around to access all the screws.

If you go to all that trouble, you might as well replace the belt while you're in there.
